Galloping Goose Uphill Map

Telluride Resort is not particularly generous with their uphill policy, but they do allow all-day access in one zone of the resort. This is the area beneath Sunshine 10 lift in Mountain Village. You can choose from one of several green runs to take uphill, opening some steeper terrain near the top. The route mapped here follows Lower Galloping Goose and then Double Cabin. If skinning uphill during open hours, you may encounter less traffic on this roundabout route than you would by going straight up Double Cabin. Once on top, you can choose to take any of the greens back down, or you could bite off more challenge on blue runs like Marmot or Enchanted Forest, or even one of the double black bump runs that connect back to the greens.
